Extract fan repair in Hurstpierpoint
Working on a fan in Hurstpierpoint means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help.
A callout to a place like Hurstpierpoint is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Tell us when your site near Hurstpierpoint is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Hurstpierpoint
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Hall kitchens near Hurstpierpoint Baptist Church, or anywhere around Hurstpierpoint, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Common questions in Hurstpierpoint
Which environmental health team covers Hurstpierpoint?
In Hurstpierpoint, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you work in villages like Hurstpierpoint?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hurstpierpoint included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We will talk it through with you and arrange to attend as soon as we can.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Even a site near Hurstpierpoint that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
